The unemployment rate for Latino Americans, at 7.5%, is also lower than the unemployment rate for blacks, theBLS data show.
For black Americans, age 16 and older, seasonally adjusted, the unemployment rate between July and August stayed the same at 11.4%, and that is up from the 10.7% rate in June.

We pay the minorities not to work.
So having said that , the real unemployment for blacks is around .5 %
Not fair more whites have to work!
To a liberal progressive telling this truth is racist and bigoted.
If only that were true. If you check who receives most of the welfare and other public assistance you will learn that it is white people, for whom the system was created.
If employment discrimination was eradicated, that would not be the case.
this is so sad for the black citizens. they have been duped for too many years by the dems, libs and race pimps.
little by little they are realizing they've been used and lied to...
8:41, what's the ratio of college graduates?
Or "employable" high school graduates?
Schools are graduating high schoolers just because they're tired of putting up with them and don't have room to keep them another year, and colleges are just out there selling student loans!
These kids ate learning NOTHING!
